Hi, 

I find myself needing to restore some graphs after a server died. MRTG is working on a new server without issue, except for the fact it overwrites all files placed on it. 

When I copy in the .old and .log files for a target and initiate MRTG it always replaces the entirety of the two files with zeros and the graph history is gone. In some cases, we have graph history going back 2 years or more. 

What is the best way to restore these old files? Additionally, what is the best way to merge old data, or two graphs into one? 


Sincerely, 

Edwin A Epstein, III
